AI Share of Voice

Definition

Your mentions divided by tracked competitors on the same prompts.

01

Formula

AI share of voice (SOV) measures what fraction of brand mentions in AI answers belong to you versus tracked competitors — on the same buyer prompts.

SOV(entity) = mentions(entity) / sum(mentions(all tracked entities))

Range: 0.0 – 1.0

02

Tracked entities

Target brand + competitors discovered for that scan (dynamic — not a static industry list).

03

Why it matters

Category leadership in AI discovery is relative. A 30% mention rate means little if a rival hits 80% on identical questions.
